Something Missing?

SMP, Scale Model Products, were 1/25 plastic promo models and model kits from the US. They were established in 1956 by Erik Erikson as a subsidiary of Detroit Plastic Products, but with considerable financial interest held by AMT.

"SMP was established to “get a foot in the door” with Chevrolet, which may have been holding back from dealing with AMT due to the latter’s close ties with Ford. SMP would produce Chevrolet and some Chrysler promotional models, while AMT continued its production of Ford and GM (other than Chevrolet) promos. While there were other companies also making toy model cars and banks, AMT and SMP are recognized as premier original manufacturers of promotional models, whether in metal or plastic." - https://round2corp.com/amt-4
